Chapter 8

Yvonne rolled her eyes at his words and scoffed. How dare Andre threatened her with jail?

“Bring it up!” She clapped. “Your level of confidence even when you’re at the brink of your downfall is something worthy to learn about; impressive.”

“Input the card and put the password. If the password is incorrect, you’ll be arrested. If the pin is correct, then I’ll go to jail.” Yvonne uttered.

A chorus of gasps escalated into the atmosphere at Yvonne’s words. How could she utter such a thing?

Who’ll come to a big store to purchase something with a bank card without knowing the password?

They couldn’t help but ponder.

“Yvonne dear, you should renounce your words. You don’t worth going to jail because of this miserable being!”

Willow tried to persuade Yvonne, but she was obstinate in her decision. She refused and was resolute in her decision.

“Don’t you worry Willow, I knew Andre like the back of my palm.” Yvonne moved a step nearer to Willow.

“He doesn’t even have a bank account. So, I knew the card in his grasp was not his.”

Andre was quiet all the time Yvonne was demeaning him in the superstore. His fingers scribbled on his phone, and a bleeping light shone directly from his phone.

After being satisfied with the text on his phone notifications bar in his eyes, he dipped the phone back into his pocket.

“My total bills is how much?” Andre inquired in an innate tone.

With a sardonic stare, the sales attendant answered, “$600, 000”

“$600, 000? Can Andre afford such an amount? Who on earth would waste his or her hard-earned money on a useless cur like him?” Yvonne pondered and shook her head.

“Arrest him.” Yvonne persisted and the people present in the room all whispered inaudible words among themselves.

Andre ignored the chattering from the crowds which had disrupted the peaceful atmosphere to input his password and the machine made a clinking sound which aroused the curiousness of those present around.

“It must be an incorrect password.” They whispered among themselves.

They anxiously anticipated the reactions of the sales attendant. They expected her to flare in anger and slap Andre but were stunned when the sales attendant exclaimed and covered her lips with her hands.

“What’s wrong?” Yvonne inquisitively questioned.

“A bi-” The sales attendant was interjected by Andre’s sudden voice.

“Withdraw the total sum of my purchases, and an additional hundred of thousands, keep the latter to yourself,” Andre said in a composed tone, ignoring the glare from the people around,

“Your teeth might grow big if you keep on opening your mouth.”

Andre warned the sales attendant as her lips were still widely apart. He collected his card from the sales attendant and turned towards Yvonne.

“Yvonne dear, you decided to defame me in public due to the grudges which you’ve harbored in your heart for me. I don’t know why you detest me so much in this way, but you should avoid me shortly, cause even heaven won’t be able to save you when you step on my feet again.”

Andre would have called the police to arrest Yvonne at the moment since Yvonne was the one who had bet to be arrested if he ever got the pins correctly, but he decided to pardon her.

Moreover, they were once couples who lived together. Arresting her would paint his reputation to be bad.

Yvonne stared with fear and hatred sparkling in her emerald eyes, and her fist clenched to her thighs.

“He’s such an angel. But, I hope he didn’t use a spell on the sales attendant. The sales attendant has been muted ever since she input the card.”

“Yes, it’s true. Look at her lips, trembling,” one of the speakers said.

“Girl, you better check your terminal and log in to your total sales. How could a man like that afford such a huge amount of money? Don’t be flattered by the amount he has dashed you.” Yvonne warned further, turning to face the attendant.

“It’s no lie. The amount in his accounts is so huge, uncountable.” The sales attendant stuttered.

The people around thought she had lost her brain to be spewing gibberish. But, she was fine and even when the accountant was called to confirm the payment, it was legit.

This action left Yvonne and the rest of the people around to be stunned. Yvonne was more embarrassed than anyone in the room.

The murmuring of how she had caused misinformation in the stores resounded in her ears. Even tho, she was there to get her wedding dress, she couldn’t help but leave the store.

Where did Andre get such money from? She couldn’t help but ponder.

As Andre stepped out of the store, he suddenly felt a malicious movement behind him which caused him to retaliate, sweeping whomever from the floor.

A wincing sound escalated from the person’s lips, it was no other than, Willow Smith, Yvonne’s ex-boyfriend who had framed Andre with the company’s rider and sent him to the detention center.

“Are you mad? Do you want to lose your head or spend the remaining of your days in jail?” Willow asked with a tinge of mockery in his voice.

“I warned you to stay off her, but you seem to be proving stubborn. Since next tomorrow is I and Yvonne’s wedding, it wouldn’t be bad if you spend your days in jail the second time for a graver sin.” Willow brawled.

“This time around, not even the president would be able to save you from my trap.” Willow Smith added to his words.

Just as Willow Smith stopped speaking, several men in black rushed towards them in a formative manner.

Both Andre and Willow’s eyes widened at their behold. They both stared at each other in askance.

Andre turned to face Willow with fiery in his eyes. “What’s the meaning of this nonsense?”

Andre grabbed Willow by the collar of his shorts, flashing a murderous glare.

“How dare you grab my shirt? Do you want your head to roll on your shoulders?” Willow said in a trembling voice.

With a stern tone, Andre caveated. “Who are these men? Tell them to get away!”

Willow looked to his left to behold the face of the henchmen who were dressed in black, and the logo on their shirt.

Nah!

They all have a rose embroidery etched into their shirt, which means they are not from his family.

What kind of family still uses rose as a means of identification in this era?

“I don’t know them! Why should I chase them away?” Willow yelled at Andre.

For once, Andre did not know what to do.He let out a sharp breath and turned to leave.Just then, his phone vibrated in his pocket.He paused, pulled it out, and looked at the screen.A message from Sasha.“We are divorcing!”Andre blinked, his eyes scanning the words again.Divorcing?His hand moved to his face as he rubbed his eyes, as if that would change what he was seeing.Why?He stood there for a few seconds, unable to move.Why would Sasha want a divorce?Before he could think further, his phone rang.Sasha.His chest tightened painfully. For a moment, he just stared at the screen.Should he pick up?Or ignore it and walk away from everything?His jaw clenched.

    Chapter 53Sasha’s trembling hands gripped her phone, and she could swear that her heart might stop at any moment due to the way it clenched.Was her mother monstrous? Her eyebrows rose and veins popped open on her face and neck.Her teeth gritted. She tried to find out the number that had just texted her and realized it was an unknown number.A heavy sigh left her mouth and her hands dropped at her side.Just as her lips parted for words. Sounds of footsteps emerged in the air and her jaw tilted in that direction to see Drake, and her uncle emerging.Drake was sparing her a triumphant and pitiful look.Badmus seemed to raise his shoulders like a peacock.“Look who we have here,” Drake’s voice cut through the thick silence that enveloped the air.Sasha sighed, tearing her gaze away from Drake to her uncle.She came here with a purpose and the purpose? Drake wasn’t even 0.001 percent of it.“Be careful with those mist in your eyes, cousin, I’m afraid here might turn to an ocean,”Sas

    Chapter 52 – The LieInside Grandpa Rollins’ study, he sat rigidly in his leather armchair, hands gripping the armrests as if they could contain the storm inside him. His chest rose and fell rapidly, every breath sharp and heavy.Across from him, Badmus remained seated, trying to read his father’s temper. His son, Drake, whispered something in his ear—and immediately earned a glare that silenced him.Badmus cleared his throat, forcing a calm expression. Then he spoke.“Father… time is slipping,” he said cautiously. “If we continue to sit in silence, Sasha will catch on. She’ll see through the lies we’ve fed her since her mother went missing.”Grandpa Rollins’ eyes widened in disbelief. His lips parted, words slurred. “Repeat that,” he demanded.Badmus flinched but repeated himself, careful to keep his voice steady.“You heard me, father. Sasha isn’t dumb. She’ll notice if Melissa isn’t under our care.”A vein throbbed at Grandpa’s temple. He jabbed an elbow in the air, furious. “Shit!

  • Fine

    Chapter 51Andre returned to the hospital to meet an empty space. When he returned to the receptionist to ask about his wife, Sasha. He was told she already left the hospital.He could hear their sneer from the background.“How come she never told him she was leaving if truly they were married?” They were right with their gossips. He had no time or the interest ti indulge in any unprofitable argument.“Thank you,” he looked over from his shoulders and smiled as he thanked them.As he stepped out of the hospital building, he dialed his wife’s number. It rang twice then it became unreachable.“What the heck?” he cussed under his breath and gripped the phone in his hands tightly.A thought crossed in his heart, but he shrugged of the ideas. There's no point trying to her Joe involve in this when it's obvious that his mother was shady and Joe was loyal to his mother.This was his mess do he's gonna treat it delicately.Swallowing a lump down his throat he made for his car.On the othe

    “Mum, that is all in the past. I’m in love with her daughter now.”Andre held his mother’s hands firmly and locked his gaze with hers.“Her daughter is my wife,” he continued quietly. “And I can’t bear seeing her in pain.”For a moment, Lady Yvonne stared at him.“Mother… if Melissa Roland is with you—”Andre paused.The silence stretched between them, tension hanging heavily in the air. His jaw tightened as if the words themselves were difficult to say.Finally, he drew in a deep breath and forced them out.“Release her.”Lady Yvonne’s mouth slowly fell open.Shock flickered across her face before anger replaced it.She abruptly pulled her hands away from his grip and breathed heavily, as if something inside her had snapped.Her eyes lingered on him for a few seconds, searching his face as though she could not recognize the son standing before her.Then she turned her face to the other side.“I’m angry, son,” she said slowly.Her voice was low, but it carried a sharp edge.“And I don

  • Your wife’s mother killed your father!

    Chapter 49“Son…”A faint tremor ran through his mother’s voice.Silence followed.Then a harsh cough broke it, thick and painful, echoing through the phone.“M-mother…” Andre almost bit his tongue as the word slipped out.Even after her apology and the sudden kindness she had shown him these past weeks, calling her that still felt strange. The word felt heavy in his mouth, unfamiliar.“Yes… son…” Her voice sounded weak and slurred.“What’s wrong, Mother?” Andre asked, concern creeping into his tone.“Didn’t Joe tell you I’ve been coughing and vomiting blood?”Andre stiffened.Joe had told him.The memory stung with guilt. Yet he couldn’t bring himself to lie.“Yes, Mother—”“And you still didn’t come to see me?” she cut him off. Her voice trembled. “Are you still angry that I left you behind?”She paused to breathe.“There were circumstances… terrible ones.”Her breathing grew heavier.“And before all that, I carried you for nine months. I stayed awake through your colic. I ran aroun
